Fully equiped cottage, excelent views to the mountain, calm place to relax and enjoy nature in it's purest form. Great for hiking and birdwatching, rivers and waterfalls around. Close to San Carlos and La Fortuna (1,5 hours Aprox).

2 bedroom, a balcony with a view, fully equiped kitchen, a chimeney, a creek, and gardens.

It is a very comfortable house in a quiet and strategic to explore this area so cute site. The services offered by the house are pretty good and ideal for families or a couple. Highly recommended

We were very disappointed with this accommodation as I had only read positive reviews, however our experience was less than so. There was no one to meet us on arrival and we waited over one hour for someone to arrive. The house was cluttered and dirty, I needed to clean all rooms myself. The house in general does not feel secure, with inadequate external lighting and broken windows. There are also several windows that you cannnot open during the day in cold weather because there is no glass, which leaves you with dark, depressing rooms. In general we were very disappointed with this house.

Very beautiful house! Lots of space, kids loved it. I would love to return some day. Nice balconies and decks, beautifully landscaped yard. Close to stores and restaurants but quiet and private. Awesome place.

Cannon2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

The location was perfect and also the house! We love it!

Viviana2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

The cottage is perfect! The perfect location, surrounded by nature, relax. Overall the area is very beautiful and everyone should visit. Carol's attention was very good. There is nothing to complain about. 100% recommended!

Leonel2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Our experience in Bajos del Toro was fantastic! Carol was always available to clarify our doubts. The place is private, quiet and cozy ... Listen to the sound of the river and the peace that reigns in Bajos del Toro is fully recovery! We did not want to go ... We recommend going to Paraiso Springs, Waterfall del Toro and Rio Drain remaining near the village ... The local food is delicious and varied. We will definitely return!

Jorge2016-04-18T00:00:00Z

Awesome, quaint little place in a beautiful mountain village. I wish we had more time to enjoy the cabin and property.

Cozy apartment allow max 2 person in a quite neighborhood just two blooks from downtown and pretty close of mountains and rivers. Located 40km/24 miles away from Juan Santamaria International Airport.

This space is unique because is located in the center of the country just 30 minutes away from the airport the town name is Sarchi, so if you dont want to drive for so long after a long flight once you arrived to Costa Rica you can come to my place chill for a little, as advise I suggest you to visit Los Bajos del Toro a beautiful small town full of waterfall like Tesoro Escondido just 30 minutes away from my apartment.

Quite neighborhood since is a working class place, surrounded by coffee fields, mountains and other fruit trees.

Great location in Sarchi (be warned, airbnb gives bad directions), safe and comfortable. Vero was very friendly, and gave good directions. The room is cozy, and the wifi and hot water worked fine.

Jesse2017-01-18T00:00:00Z

Veronica was a great host. Her apt was perfect for me because I had a car and wanted to get out of San Jose after a long flight, but not have to drive too far. I wanted to stay close to the Poas volcano and near another small town that I wanted to visit called Los Bajos del Toro before heading north to la Fortuna.

Catherine2017-02-15T00:00:00Z

Vero was a superior host. Friendly and sweet. Her place was cleaner than the cleaning aisle in any supermarket. A unique place outside of San Jose

In the midst of coffee plantations and water sources is our Bed and Breakfast Caña Dulce located at 1300 meters high fresh mountain air an ideal place to relax and enjoy the attractions of the site where the World Heritage Costa Rican wagon crafts are made instead.

Cozzy place in the middle of a coffee plantation lovely decorated with many me memories located in Sarchi

We felt as if we were friends of the family rather than paying guests. Carlos was incredibly friendly, greeted us with a coffee and we had a really long chat. We had the run of the house and were able to cool an evening meal. Carlos made us a great breakfast and gave us a brief tour of the coffee farm in the morning. The road is now paved so you do not need 4x4 to reach the property. You are staying in a typical Costa Rican home, so do not expect luxury, but everything is here that you will need (except wifi - but Carlos is hoping that a new provider will be able to supply an Internet connection soon). We really enjoyed our stay!

PLEASE NOTE: Finca Dos Lados Cloud Forest Retreat is located above Trojas, Sarchi. The GPS incorrectly locates Finca Dos Lados in San Luis de Grecia. Trojas is one ridge to the west and in Valverde Vega, not Grecia.
The deafening Silence of Finca Dos Lados is truly unique in the bustling world in which we live. We are perched atop the Continental Divide and thrive in Paradise where I like to say we live up here in the Clouds with the Angels.
I have one room with a queen size bed, one room with three twin beds, and a third room with four bunk beds. All three rooms look out on the garden planted with flowers for the native birds. There is a large dining and meeting room and a lounge across the front of the house with an expansive view of the valley below. There are two complete bathrooms down the hall. Up on the hill above the house there is a building which can serve as a studio/study space (no bathroom yet for this one) which has a beautiful view out over our reforestation project. The hillside studio would make a wonderful writer or painter's studio for someone who seeks a peaceful place without interruptions.
We are located about 25 minutes up the mountain from the town of Sarchi, the "Cradle of the Artisans" and the center of the wooden furniture made in Costa Rica. Four wheel drive is recommended for the last 3 km of the drive, especially during the rainy season. Transportation can be arranged from the end of the bus line, about 6 km.
I have cows, chickens, ducks and dogs on the property and an organic produce garden.
I have a good clean water supply on the property with plenty of pressure for a good shower and inline gas water heaters. No cold showers up here. I have a wood burning heater made from a recycled oil drum, which warms us up on chilly evenings.
There are a couple of hiking trails maintained which go over the continental divide into the valley of the Gorrion River.with its waterfalls and more tropical forest.

We went to Sara arriving in Costa Rica. We were very well received. Children (5 and 8) have played a lot with dogs that are very nice. Kitchen Coco was excellent and a host Sara was more than considerate. it is even part take walks with the children! It really was like home! While it's only an hour from the airport, is already an expedition and a 4x4 is indispensable. With a rental Rav4, we have achieved this without a problem. The rooms are basic, we are in a firm, but it suited our needs ... Even my partner who was not, however, love the "little animals".

Quentin2015-12-16T00:00:00Z

This was a fantastic time for our family. Sara is a great host. Her place is a true inspiration for achieving a dream. The journey there is also part of the adventure. I can be as quiet as you wish or as busy as you want. Great to walk in the jungles behind her house, high in the clouds or up her long 6 k drive way, not easy walk!!!!.Or you can sit and meditate ,paint or enjoy Cocco, Jose and Juans conversation. My daughter will be back with more friends, you need at least 4 full days here. 60 min from San Jose airport via Grecia bus 660 kolonas each and Sara meets you at red church. Regular busses leaving. She has turned a cattle deforested pasture into a reforested lush area.

Charmaine2014-03-17T00:00:00Z

What a wonderfully unique experience we had at Finca Dos Lados! Let me start by reiterating that a 4x4 is absolutely necessary to get up the road that leads to the house. After some of the rough terrain we encountered on our way there from Puerto Viejo (roads that had been covered from landslides), we thought our rental car would be able to handle the road to the house but we were hugely mistaken! Sara kindly made arrangements for us to park in a gated area at a neighbor's house and she drove us the rest of the way, which was an adventure of it's own! I also recommend giving yourself plenty of time to get there in daylight depending on where you're coming from because it's not the easiest place to find if you're not familiar with the area. Also, bring some warm clothing! The climate here is much cooler. After finding your way there, the place is quite magical and the beauty of the area was matched by the warmth of the company. Sara, Coco (and her family), and the 3 sweet dogs were a joy to spend time with. The food was wonderful, the accommodations were comfortable, and we enjoyed all of the knowledge and stories Sara had to share. We plan to continue following her progress and mission and hope to come back someday. We wanted to see and do as many different things as we possibly could while in Costa Rica and the time we spent at Finco Dos Lados at the end of our trip was like nowhere else we had been and was the perfect end to a great adventure!

Tammy2016-02-26T00:00:00Z

We had an absolutely wonderful time on Sara's farm, Finca dos Lados! The scenery is breathtaking, the accommodations very cozy and the people with whom we shared time and space were kind and warm. We spent time hiking the grounds, learning about the history of the farm, playing games, eating Coco's delicious cooking and altogether relaxing. If we make another trip to Costa Rica, which we hope to, a return visit to Finca dos Lados will be on the itinerary. (Note: When visiting Sara, make sure to have a 4x4 as the drive to her farm is quite rugged!)

Lindsay2015-01-08T00:00:00Z

Our stay with Sara at Finca Dos Lados was a dream come true. Tucked away in the mountains above Sarchi, "up in the clouds", it truly is a little piece of heaven here on earth. Finca Dos Lados was the first stop on our family's very first visit to Costa Rica and though we visited some absolutely amazing and astoundingly beautiful places, Finca Dos Lados remained everyone's favorite. In addition to the cozy, welcoming home, the delicious food cooked up by Coco, and the breathtaking surroundings, was the inspiration and restoration all we experienced. Our two children (8 & 11) enjoyed every moment rolling in the grass, playing with the dogs, exploring the grounds, and splashing in the creek. Sara's vision for Finca Dos Lados and all that she has accomplished so far are inspiring beyond words. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer. We're already dreaming up another trip; this time for a longer stay with friends and plans to dig in and work! "Sara's Place", as we refer to it now, felt like home and Sara and Coca felt like family.

Bajos del Toro is a really spectacular town, far from the ordinary. Watered by rivers of different tones and with views that inspire peace and greatness.

Mich2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

Bajos del Toro by itself is a beautiful area in Costa Rica, has many places to explore nature. The cottage is definitely a perfect place for this area, is located in a very secure and private estate, the house is spacious, equipped with everything you need and very warm, perfect for the climate of Bajos del Toro. Esteban is an excellent host, it was attentive, prompt response and very polite. Place 100% recommended.

Dan2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Esteban's cabin is very nice and secluded. However, it is 30 min away from the main road and way further in the mountains than what the gps says. Bring food because there are no restaurants nearby. Cleanliness was decent and no wifi makes it hard to communicate. Beautiful views and very close to bajos del toro.

Steven2017-06-20T00:00:00Z

Marvin2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

WOW!!!! I honestly had no idea to expect. My boyfriend and I only had 2 and a half days to spend together before we parted ways at SJO Airport and we wanted some place special and romantic but had no idea. I saw Estebans listing on AirBnB and decided to give it a try and we are SO HAPPY that we did! We knew we made the right choice when Esteban promptly picked us up from the airport and took us to his cabin. When he departed he left us with a bottle of Rose!! What an amazing welcome! The location: Just BEAUTIFUL. Farm land, tons of beautiful open space right in the mountains, nestled between rolling hills, tons of green and foliage, raw open country side ... it's just breath taking. The air is crisp and cool. It is quiet and magical! It's only 35 miles from the airport but does take about an hour-1.30 depending on traffic. Things to do: In only 2 days we went to the Blue Rapids, hiked to waterfalls, explored around the farm, visited the grounds of Hotel Silencio (5 mins from the Cabin), cuddled by the fire, enjoyed our bottle of Rose (Gracias Esteban!!!) and relaxed! You must go to the Blue Rapids! Its about an hour hike to get there and you can spend ALL DAY playing in the pools and in the waterfalls! You can go to many other look out spots and waterfalls, there is rappelling, hummingbird watching, horseback riding, hiking... whats so great about Estebans farm is his property!!! Perfect for a gorgeous hike! His workers let me milk their cows... fresh milk with my coffee!! It was awesome! There are also hot springs in the area and if you have time take a day trip to hike the Volcano or drive 30 mins north to Agua Zarcas or an hour to Arenal... there is just so much to do but also the perfect place to do just nothing and relax in a gorgeous place! The Cabin - I couldn't believe we had this 2 story, 3 bedroom, 2 bath cabin with a fireplace and 2 gorgeous decks looking into the valley and at a Volcano. Not that we needed it but there was a TV which I will admit was nice to sit in front of and just zone out :) With a roaring fire and cuddling up next to your guy and a glass of wine.. yes please :) It is rustic and so homie! Which was PERFECT for what we wanted. But if you are looking for maid service with perfect furniture and a modern feel - this may not be for you. If you want something romantic, different, spacious and a retreat away from reality... this is it! Esteban - The best! The nicest! He taxi'd us to and from the airport... including a 5a pick up - THANK YOU. We didn't have to worry about anything! Things to know: - bring warm clothes. It...

Our stay with Emanuel and his family was wonderful. They welcomed us in to their home with open arms, and made us feel right at home. Emanuel is very knowledgeable about all sorts of activities in the area, and gave us some excellent recommendations. Both Meghan and I hope to be able to stay with them again on our next trip to Costa Rica (so we can have some more of their tasty gallo pinto

Tayo2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

My husband and I absolutely loved staying in this home. Emanuel and his wife made us feel completely at home. I highly recommend anyone looking to stay in Sarchi to stay here. We were in various places in Costa Rica for nine days and we both agreed that our favorite stay during the entire trip was at this home. Emanuel was also very responsive prior to our trip, answering all of our questions. During our stay, he offered great recommendations for places to visit. Job well done!

Juan Carlos is an amazing host! We have made a true friend in just 2 days especially since he was "off" for a short school break/he teaches at the nearby school and we were able to learn so much. And will definitely return. His home is above!, in San Miguel arriba/1600 meters elev/5200 ft) a bus stops (440 colones ea. way) right by his home/el mirador restaurant-schedules are pretty on point, or about 20 min. from grecia downtown. Home is quiet and vistas are beautiful-meals were outstanding, truly Tico! He knows so much about Grecia, CR, etc. If you're up to it, join him for a 1 mi. hike up the mountain side for the sunrise, coffee n being one with nature.

Our stay at the Finca Organica was awesome! The cabin was much better than we expected. Everything was super clean and very spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped, there is nothing missing. The view from the terrace is beautiful. We can only recommend anyone to come here. The proximity to nature, the many animals and the lovely nice people made it easy for us to relax perfectly. Top!

Linus2017-06-09T00:00:00Z

The apartment is in a beautiful place. Beautiful views and very tastefully. It is cozy and a great place to rest or visit the Poas Volcano Natural Park which is about 45 minutes place. Or Peace falls also in the area. very nice deal.

LORENZO2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

The farm is absolutely gorgeous. The cabin is clean and comfortable and has everything you need, which is good because you definitely need to grocery shop and bring food with you for the duration of your stay. They closest local market is a very steep walk away and the local soda/farm restaurant is only open weekends. We suggested treating the experience like a more comfortable version of camping. We did not meet Luisa but Felicia waited two hours for us to arrive past our check-in time and took us to the most beautiful spot to watch the New Years fireworks over the San Jose valley. The family is wonderful, and the town is friendly and safe. If you are planning to rent a car, get a gps or pay for international data on your cellular, we tried to use still maps and since the farm is so seclusively located, we almost didn't find it. Overall great experience. Thanks Finca Organica!

Rachelle2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

Amazing. The best AirBnb experience in Costa Rica. If you like nature, birds and organic food, this is the place. + you get your own wifi rooter. + the best bed. + well-equipped, cozy room.

This place is an absolutely gem. It is so beautiful and peaceful. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed staying at this place. Luisa and her family were very nice and friendly to us. The family prepared us really good and healthy dinner and provided us with a lot of information of things to do. Another highlight at this place was the educative trail in their farm. It is a must! The view from the house is also so amazing! Waking up with the view is priceless. We highly recommend this place!

Nantisara2016-11-07T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at Finca organica (about 5,000 ft elev--awesome views-high of 70F, low 60F) with Luisa, felicia, and everyone. Breakfast there was lovely and delicious. Cabin had all that we needed to cook since we were cautioned as to the distance from town. The bus stops right in front of the property and runs regularly to Grecia center/downtown -20min=45min on bus. The dogs were great as our unofficial guides on our self-guided tour. We enjoyed a very private and serene 3 days. Right outside property-Bar/restaurant El Mirador n Essprezzo coffee shop only open on weekends. We will definitely return in the future!

We enjoyed our stay at Lynn's cottage. If you are looking for a nice place to relax this is the place, it is quiet and peaceful and the garden is beautiful. The cottage has everything you need to make your stay pleasant and our host was very easy going.

Judy2015-01-15T00:00:00Z

We recently completed an awesome week long stay at Lynn's Casita in the mountains. From the moment I sent out my initial queries, Lynn's prompt and candid responses grabbed our attention. So much that we loved about our stay; the vistas of coffee and sugarcane fields, the mist bathed mountains,the tranquillity, the sweet fragrance in the air, colourful birds, availing ourselves of fruits and herbs from the property.... The Casita is cosy, comfortable and thoughtfully equipped for self catering. We did not have a car, but found it fun and easy to use the local bus to town for supplies. The bus stop is literally outside the door. Wifi connection was fast and consistent..this is always a priority for us and Lynn made sure we were satisfied. For us, the best part of the stay was Lynn. During our stay, I had a medical emergency and Lynn sprung into action, accompanying me to town, staying until it was resolved. The place...the host..amazing!

Agata and Karol are very nice and helpful, we very well received in their apartment. Moreover, the apartment is magngifique and very clean. As for the neighborhood, the scenery is breathtaking, but it is a bit down in the countryside, a rental car would be quite handy. Still, given that we had not, Karol had great kindness we extend where we needed to go, in addition to Take affected us in town. Thank you for the nice stay!

Roxane2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

Karol was really responsive with everything and was able to make our trip easy and convenient. He picked us up from the airport and was able to give local rides to the town. The center of Grecia is about a 10-15 min drive. The place itself was very beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. The only problem for us is because we were higher up and away from town, we needed to take taxis to get places. So if you plan on staying here, take into account some extra money for that. Other than that though, we would definitely stay here again. The views from the place are beautiful and Karol was very helpful.

Marcy2016-08-11T00:00:00Z

I traveled with my husband, spent two nights in the area, wanted to visit Greece, the fact that much better than expected. Mars and joseluis told us hiked to the waterfall Bajos del Toro, a great place, a beautiful valley with a road inaccessible but we recommend. There we ate at a restaurant that was Bajos del toro, are we called "typical food, the yellow" is an association of 8 women who 20 years ago decided to set up something to help the economy of their homes and to send their children to study and they are succeeding. You should go there

Carmen2012-12-15T00:00:00Z

This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay. My family and I always stay near Grecia when we first arrive in Costa Rice (we have been three times) and this is our new favorite place in the area. The views from the property are expansive and beautiful. The cabin we were in was clean and included all ammenities we needed. The breakfast was fresh, delicious and served in a lovely room with massive windows overlooking the mountains. Jose and Maite were excellent hosts, some of the best we have ever had. They gave us a map with directions to Los Chorros waterfalls and were very helpful with suggesting local restaurants as well as how to get around the area. Highly recommended!

Ashley2013-12-28T00:00:00Z

Maite and Jose are everything you look for in hosts and more. From the moment they greeted us upon our arrival to the moment we left, they were warm, welcoming, helpful and informative. They were able to provide us information about the best places to visit, near and far. Everything was exactly as we had hoped, from the stunning view to the delicious homemade breakfast. If you are ever in the area, there is no better place to stay. I hope to one day be able to stay here again and spend some more time with Maite and Jose :)

Hotel Mango Valley is a great place to stay. It's quiet, a short drive to Grecia, Volcan Poas and the La Paz Waterfalls. For coffee lovers, this is set in coffee growing country. Coffee plants are literally everywhere. We didn't have any trouble with bugs. Jose met us in the parking lot with a huge smile. Later, we met Maite. Both of them are charming people and I'm glad to have met them. The roads to the hotel are paved, just steep so driving there without a four wheel drive vehicle is definitely possible. Wifi speeds are good though be aware that this is Costa Rica so it may drop out for no apparent reason. Maite is very good about communicating the nature of the problem to her ability. If you have a Costa Rican phone or SIM (I like Movistar), we were able to get service in our room.

Our stay at Hotel Mango Valley was very pleasant. Jose Luis and his staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially Javier. The room and all facilities were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a nice addition to the stay, serving local coffee and fresh fruits. We enjoyed spending time by the pool and garden, with a great view of the mountainside and coffee farms just outside of Grecia.

We can't say enough good things about Mango Valley and Jose Y Maite! They both greeted us as we drove in. They are very friendly and we loved talking to them. I told my husband, 'if we lived here, they would be our friends'. They were very quick and helpful with all communication. They are very professional and conscientious about being available for their guests at any time. They told us where we could visit and when would be the best time because of the weather and visibility. Our room & the grounds were immaculately clean. Our room was cleaned everyday and it had everything we needed. Mini fridge, microwave, cooking hob and sink with all the necessary utensils. The views here are amazing and can't be captured in just a picture. There are coffee plantations everywhere. There is much to see and do while you are there. We were there in October and expected to be rained on every day, but it was lovely. It only rained a few times while we were out but passed quickly. Definitely try the restaurant right up the street for some very local food. We had trouble finding it in the dark, only because it isn't very market with signs, but it was worth the search. We loved every part of staying at Mango Valley. We hope to return again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Javier is an amazing host who welcomes you and makes you feel home directly. The cabins are extremely clean and very well equipped. The pool is great to refresh after a long day in the area. The view is amazing and it was one of the most relaxed places we have been so far. Breakfast was delicious especially the home made guayaba marmelade - yummy! We can definitely recommend staying there (it is close to Poas and la Paz around 45mins by car). Thanks again to Javier, it is a shame we couldnt stay longer!

Caroline2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

Excellent host, it is a beautiful, private place to 100% and the comfort of the cabin is exceptional. My family and I were delighted.

Carlos Esteban2017-07-06T00:00:00Z

We loved the cabin ... super cute, very modern and homely at the same time. All the details. The beautiful place. Just what we were looking for. Disconnect us from everything. Super recommended for those looking for a weekend of peace and tranquility.

Herminia2017-07-04T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful experience at Sehidy's place! The environment was secluded with beautiful views of the natural greenery. We had an issue with the shower but Sehidy was quick to resolve the issue, coming over the same night she was notified. The cabin had everything we needed for our short stay. The only downfall was no hot water for showers. Overall, Sehidy was very easy to communicate with and very sweet. Thank you, Sehidy! *This cabin is located off of a dirt road in a neighborhood with extremely hilly roads.

Hayley2017-03-23T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house in beautiful location!

Jonathan2017-01-12T00:00:00Z

A great place to escape for people looking for a combination of nature, privacy and relaxation. The place is cozy and it has all necessary appliances that make your stay very comfortable. You can take a walk to the river or even enjoy the variety of fruits you can find in the property. Breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and sounds of birds and whispering trees. Sehidy and her husband are both very kind people who helped us a couple of times during our stay. Finally, I can say this is a place that really makes you like home. Highly recommended!

Ronny2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

We stayed at La Tranquera for 2 weeks and enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is beautiful and very peaceful but you can get in to downtown Grecia in about 15-20 minutes. The cabin is a little way (less than 1 minute) down an unpaved road and was difficult to find when we first arrived but if you put La Tranquera into (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps it will take you right there. From the cabin we were able to explore lots of places around Grecia including Poas volcano (1.25 HR away), Bajo del Toro waterfall and Zarcero (both about 1 HR away but you can do both in one day), Los Chorros waterfall (45 minutes away) and Zoo Ave ( 0.5 HR away). I loved the time we spent at La Tranquera and would happily visit again.

Liz2017-01-28T00:00:00Z

It is a beautiful place, where it is 100% sure that you can rest and enjoy in family. It has all the amenities that one can ask for and for the kids there is cable TV so they do not get bored, but I do not think so because the walks on the property, practicing soccer or another similar sport in a space similar to a mini court Of soccer, it's great. Delighting in a lemonade, with fresh lemons from the garden is simply delicious and refreshing. It is an excellent option for families in the quiet area and because you can truly enjoy the company of the family. Do not forget to enjoy the market of Greece, its beautiful metal church, Sarchi and the rich options to eat or dine just a short distance from the cabin.

Sandra and Ron were superb from the outset, the study is very nice and comfortable, has everything you need to unwind and rest a few days out of town, the view is fabulous and the outdoor hot tub under the light great moon.

Steven2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

Staying with Sandra and Ron was absolutely wonderful! Their home is in a gorgeous location with stunning expansive views, the hot tub is situated so you get to enjoy the landscapes around, and Sandra and Ron themselves were welcoming and considerate hosts. They went out of their way to be accommodating, they were very courteous and helpful when our rental fell through and we needed to figure out new transportation, they have great insight into the area and I was very grateful for their input! We felt very at home. I could've spent the entire day on their beautiful porch!

Michael's place is a little paradise near grecia. We really enjoyed our stay. The host were super friendly and the location was stunning. You should go if you pass by !

Etienne2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

The room fits two people perfectly. The room is set apart from the main home so you have much privacy. Also, there is a rooftop balcony above it where you can enjoy the landscape during the day and the stars at night. Having two bathrooms was awesome. Everything was clean and there was much place to store your things. The communication was perfect- Michael was very quick to respond and very understanding when it came to us arriving a little later than we anticipated. Ed and Michael were kind enough to include us in on a yoga class which was AMAZING. My friend and I had traveled in from La Fortuna and had done many hikes so we were very sore so starting our morning in Grecia with Ed's yoga class was very refreshing. He is an awesome instructor and the yoga room they have in their home is HUGE and also beautiful. The room overlooks the mountains which added a special touch. The class was so peaceful and definitely had us sweating by the end- the stretches/workout was great. Breakfast was included- they served us fresh brewed coffee and a variety of local fruit which was delicious! The location is up in the mountains- very easy to find in Waze app. Only 45 minutes from the airport. 20 minutes from Los Chorros which is a local spot where they have a couple waterfalls that you can swim in and picnic at. Also, it's only 45 minutes from Poas National Park and La Paz Waterfall. Overall we enjoyed our time with Ed and Michael- they are so kind and have such a beautiful home that is peaceful and safe. We were able to park our rental car behind a locked gate. The home is all fenced in and very secure. Both of them spent time with us just chatting and sipping tea and gave us a tour of their large home that they have put a lot of work into. The scenery from their backyard was breathtaking. They have such sweet animals that we were lucky to play with and they were such kind hosts who made us feel like family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Amanda2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

Michael and Ed were wonderful and accommodating hosts. They were attentive and did everything they could to make my stay as comfortable as possible. (Shout out to Ed's hearty vegetable stew on my last night there). They have put in a lot of work into the property and it shows. Almost hard to believe I stayed there for such a good price. The room is no frills, but if you just need a place to hold your bags and sleep at night, it's perfect. Their dogs are super friendly and a nice bonus if you are a dog person. If not, their door system can keep them secluded from your path. The views are amazing and I experienced some unique weather patterns up there which was pretty cool. The path to the nearby volcano was closed due to it being active but I still had a good time walking the trails throughout the farmland and it was a nice escape from city life. Overall I had a good experience here. This is the perfect secluded getaway if you want to catch up on reading, see a beautiful sunrise in a lush countryside, or get away from it all and become one with nature, because they have a lot of it over there.

Christopher2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

Michael and Ed were wonderful people to meet. My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 days. The property is incredible! A breath taking view of the valley, and up to Poas Volcano's 3 craters. The accommodation is perfectly sized we found, some shelves and a bunk bed. A good base to chill or explore and come back to to sleep. The free yoga class was so enjoyable I would do it again if I could! Michael and Ed were very helpful and kind with directions and questions :) Their location is a little out of the way, but very worth it. If you ask them you may be able to arrange a guide to take you for a very good price to La Paz Waterfall and Animal Sanctuary. Recommended as a MUST do if you stay here.

My place is close to Santamaria Airport (40 Min), great views, coffee fields, great bird watching, Poas Volcano, and La Paz Waterfall Resort, restaurants and dining, and family-friendly activities. You’ll love my place because of the neighborhood, the comfy beds, the tricked out Cook's kitchen, and the coziness.

The house was exactly as pictured. We had a great stay there and had a perfect day at the Poas Volcano and the La Paz waterfall gardens.

Linda2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

Definitely a great location with easy access by bus or short drive to town of Grecia! There is a perfect little store (pulperia) convenient for quick groceries, snacks/drinks! Having a vehicle available to rent was AWESOME! we got lost on our way back from the waterfall and was able to communicate with Sherrie to get us back. What an adventure . The manager Luis and his wife was very gracious. We stayed 1 week and enjoyed every bit of it. Only real concerns were hot water. The breaker kept tripping, but we told Sherrie about it, and hopefully it's fixed for the next guest. Definitely would recommend this spot! Very nice Yoga studio about 1/2 mile down the road....too much to share, but what an awesome trip!!!!

Haajar2017-05-24T00:00:00Z

The house I very large, had all what you needed in the kitchen . Was a very great trip

Jan2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

The house Sherri is a great location to visit the Poas Volcano area. The house is removed outside of the city, very quiet and peaceful to enjoy the surrounding nature. The house is very well equipped, WiFi works great, the beds are very comfortable. The climate is very different to the Pacific Coast, it's very pleasant with cool evenings. Contrary to what was thought, there were no mosquitoes at night. Very nice house that I recommend. It is easier to reach the day, the sun sets at 18:00 and then it's hard to find his way to reach the house. In Costa Rica there is no address or street name, have good guidelines to go.
